Nachni Nashta

About the Recipe

Finger millet, or Ragi, is called “nachni” in Hindi. It is a healthy cereal with many health benefits and much nutritional value. Make this nachni nashtta from ragi flour and vegetables for your breakfast. You can make a healthier version by steaming the batter using Oddy Ecobake to have an oil-free breakfast. The nashtta is precisely steamed, non-sticky, and incredibly simple to clean even though no oil is used because Oddy Ecobake provides the essential greasing.
